- This 1973 Dodge promotional film, titled " 1973 Coronet and Coronet Wagon ", was sent to Dodge car dealerships to be used as an in-house Sales personal training film. Sales Personnel were to show the film to potential buyers prior to the test drive. The film highlights technical aspects and features of the new model year.
This film came from my personal collection. This film was not downloaded from any website and is not reused content. This restoration is my work. The restoration process started with removing the super8 film from the Kodak Model B Movie Film Cartridge. The film came printed on magnetic sound Eastman film stock. After removal the film was cleaned, repaired, and spooled onto a standard film reel. Next the scanning to digital process was performed on the Lasergraphics Scanstation motion picture film scanner in 2k resolution. Excess film grain noise was removed, and extensive color restoration performed using 3 separate processes in DaVinci Resolve software. An additional processing for dust and scratch removal was performed utilizing NeatVideo. Then the film was upscaled into 4K resolution utilizing Topaz AI software. In 4K, the images were sharpened, and additional detail correction was performed. Then a final color restoration and image stabilization process was performed in DaVinci Resolve. Finally, the film was downscaled back to 2k for uploading to RUclips. As I work on these films, I try to improve the process as I go along. Note the audio track was altered due to copywrite content. Thanks for watching.
What a relaxing video from the beautiful past.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the narrator is Wink Martindale, the emcee of Tic Tac Dough!
They look so pretty Brand New! All the chrome, the bright work! Don’t forget, most of these cars were sold as Fleet or Commercial use….. (Police & Taxi) .. they were all banged up right away!
My favorite line: new easier to operate door handles!
This video was probably made 50 years ago but the homes in that neighborhood still look nice. And the bellhop's groovy big hair!
Fantastic job on the video restoration!!
My dad had one in 1975 (sedan) 225 slant6, he put 250,000 miles on it and sold it. The guy who bought it put the car over one million miles with one rebuild and now he use the engine for his sawmill.
I don't know from personal experience, but folks have said that the 225 was possibly one of the best engines made. I think 250k might be a stretch for the average owner...but, that's pretty awesome!
@@jefweb5043 my dad was a machinist and mechanic.
Bruuhh that’s so redneck
For those asking, this was shot in Westlake Village, CA. It and adjacent Thousand Oaks were often used in this era of Chrysler Corp. and GM promotional films.
This looks like it also might be the neighborhood of the exterior shots of the Brady Bunch house.
All the way through the film and not one of these exploded nor got chased by the fuzz...remarkable!
3:49 As a kid, I spent a lot of time riding backwards in the third seat of that green Coronet wagon.
Loved this! Thanks for posting. Would love to find a pristine example of the Coronet Wagon.
Quick question, I've found it really interesting how sought after these wagons are, and I was wondering what the appeal was? I think they're cool too, but I was just curious if it was a nostalgia thing or not, like if you had this car growing up. or perhaps they just look better?
@@sterlinsilverwagons were so common when I was a child, I just find them more interesting than the ubiquitous SUVs of today. From a practical perspective, I think wagons were more space efficient and handled better than the SUVs of the day, though that may not be true of today's offerings.
Chrysler quality was juuuuunk
...a shame, because much of the design was sound - I'll take a Mopar Slant 6, Hemi 6 (Aussie) or 318 with electronic ignition over most of the other engines from the Big 3. In Australia, the 1971-81 Valiant was truly a great engine in search of a great car.
@@saxongreen78 My 318 coronet was solid
Unusual pauses in video dialogue , , , I'm surprised they didn't make the edits crisper. Great restoration in any case!
These loop-bumper Coronets were some of the last Dodges to really look more upscale than their Plymouth counterpart.
No wonder I grew up not knowing that Dodge was meant to be above Plymouth in the brand hierarchy. Until the Plymouth brand went to the Showroom in the Sky, I had no idea that Plymouth was the budget brand (like Chevrolet or Ford) while Dodge was the sportier and fancier brand (like Pontiac/Oldsmobile/Buick or Mercury). As far as I could tell, Dodge and Plymouth were two brands under Chrysler that sold the same cars under different names. While GM was the biggest offender when it came to competing with itself, I at least knew that Chevrolet was the budget brand, Pontiac was the sporty brand above Chevrolet, Oldsmobile was the "lower" near-luxury brand, and Buick was the "higher" near-luxury brand.
@@jasonhsu4711 I always thought that Plymouth was the higher level brand. I'm guessing I figured the structure was similar to Lincoln Mercury dealerships as both of those brands were higher level than Ford, so I assume the same for Chrysler.
These are so fun to watch. Would love to know the section of So. Cal it was filmed at. This doesn’t look like L.A. Maybe Palm Springs?
This was filmed in Westlake Village, California. The lakeside shots were made on Triunfo Canyon Road, and the “motor hotel” is now the Westlake Village Inn and Spa on Agoura Road. Many of these Chrysler and GM promotional films were made here, and for many years GM and VW Group had design centers in the area. JD Power and Associates was also here for decades. Source: me. Lived there from 1986 thru 2007. Was a wonderful place to live and work… until it wasn’t.
Possibly Valencia, Ca?
Those are big homes for 1973!!
Is that Wink Martindale narrating?
What’s with the double soundtrack???!!
when the film was produced, the production company had to acquire rights to the music used. The copyright on the film has expired but not on the music. In order for me to post the film without and copywrite restrictions on RUclips I have to cut out the copywrite audio and replace it. I use music supplied by RUclips that closely matches the timeline and mood. It isn't always perfect as its almost impossible to completely erase the original track.
I want. Is good looking car.
Jaws was 2 years away
Me gusta el Dodge Coronet 1973; yo me pongo a imaginar a dos muchachas solteras, libres, sin compromiso, sin hijos, sin tatuajes, ni piercings, ni implantes en sus cuerpos; la rubia; blanca ojos azules oscuros y el cabello rubio; la pelirroja blanca ojos verdosos y el cabello rojizo; la pelirroja manejando el carro; la rubia en el asiento del pasajero; la pelirroja viste un vestido azul oscuro con una blusa blanca manga larga; calcetines canilleros blancos y gomas blancas; y la rubia viste una blusa blanca manga larga, minifalda azul oscuro calcetines canilleros blancos y gomas blancas; las dos con sus caras maquilladas, los labios rojos y el cabello arreglado; parecen dos muñecas; yo voy en el asiento trasero del carro; además le hizo competencia al Chevrolet Caprice e Impala; saludos y buenas noches.
Why was this horrible 'music' added?
